The old phrase that there is a fine line between genius and madness is, and always will be, intrinsically true. Those that propose ideas and think in a direction that is unconventional have always been on the receiving end of scorn and skepticism, regardless of the validity of their claims.

Having spent a significant portion of my life reading, learning, and teaching on all sorts of aspects of life, I now wish to share some of my ideas and thoughts with others. It is highly probable that you may find some thoughts offensive… (more…)
